About me

I'm a Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapist working in Nottingham with an opening within my practice to take on new clients. Through The Samaritans and clinical work I have experience of working with suicidal and distressed clients. My experience extends to relationship issues, anxiety, depression, identity difficulties, rape, self-harm, eating disorders and sexual and domestic abuse.

I have worked in the volunteer sector for many years and have learnt a lot about working with people with mental health and a wide range of diversity.

I have a lovely private room in Carrington which is close to Mansfield Road for easy access by bus, on road parking by car and a short trip to Woodthorpe Park should you need a relaxing walk before or after therapy.

What Integrative Counselling can offer you

The humanistic approach that I offer predominantly focuses on the uniqueness of an individual, our potential in personal growth and to explore creativity, love and a better understanding of one's self.

I also work with the integration of different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of you as an individual thus honouring and nurturing your uniqueness throughout your journey.

With an understanding of human development, attachment theory and the unconscious process this helps me to modify therapy to fill in developmental gaps that effects each of us in different ways.

By combining different modalities and elements integrated therapy becomes more of a flexible, inclusive and personal approach than traditional psychotherapy.

I'm a real believer in making therapy your own however the space and way we do this is something we will co-create between us. To help you do this I will offer you a safe environment with a place to test out your emotions and feelings without judgement. I will be honest, consistent, have your autonomy and empowerment at heart and we will work at your pace.

Therapies offered

Fees

I encourage you to contact me in which ever way you feel most comfortable, whether that be by phone or email. First contact is a way of introducing ourselves and it's an opportunity for me to answer any questions you may have. This gives you a feel of how I am and how we may work together if that's what you choose. I offer this without charge or obligation and may I add I really appreciate this is not an easy thing to do but is a positive step towards finding your therapist.

First session is £20 for 50 minutes. I reduce this session as I understand meeting your therapist can be daunting and it's your first chance to get a sense of how you feel in the room, in therapy and with me.

Sessions after this will be £40 for 50 minutes and will take place once a week on a time and day that is comfortable for you.
